Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the hon. member and indeed the entire House that I intend to introduce such legislation later this day in order to give effect to the bill as early as next April 1.
I want to thank members on all sides of the House who brought forward this suggestion to me in the past. I also asked the parliamentary committee to undertake a study about the future of this measure and a one year provision, with a view to shortening it permanently.
